    Hunt manners

    This is just a reminder for those doing hunts. When a S mark is spotted give at least five minutes or near it for others to arrive. Missed two marks today due to them going for it almost right away instead of waiting. I was held up due to congestion to get to the world the mark was on.

    Just a reminder for manners please do not start a fight right away and give people at least 5 minutes to get there. Congestion in changing worlds and such might make them abit slow to arrive.

    Kinda curious who agrees and might think I am being silly in the suggestion.

    In my experience, Primal and Dynamis are pretty good about waiting.

    Aether and Crystal are not nearly as organized or disciplined, so keep that in mind when you choose whether to travel or not. Probably good to temper your own expectations rather than request that large groups of people who have historically acted a certain way change what they're doing.

    Just trying to hop within Crystal this morning, I was hitting queue of "over 50" within seconds of the mark being announced, so I agree that waiting longer to pull would be good, but I might also dial myself down to exclusively hunting Mateus marks, because it's stressful wondering whether I'll get to any other world in time due to circumstances completely out of my control.

    And even then...

    There was one notorious type where I've been Hunting that may FINALLY have gotten enough of the hint (or bored pre-Evercold). But the near-standard is, especially with the inaction of GMs on the question, "manners" is, at best, a rather tenuous concept.

    Is is S rank day with 4 DCs that can travel instantly meaning the queues are gonna be horrible. I doubt early pullers gonna care about others its the nature of hunts unfortunately.

    People do wait. The problem is that more people are queuing for the same world at the same time. But people already at the S ranks don't know that, so they still keep their own time before pulling.

    5 minutes is much too long and the problem is not bad manners its increasingly slower bottlenecking and bad sync one day maybe people will stop complaining to eachother and demand the devs fix the systems they put into place that cause us to bicker why does it take me 3 minutes to world visit over only 60 people what a complete joke if its because of lack of portals they need to add more why is every group content in this game hindered by the devs lack of proper support for it and always blamed on the players people shouldnt be waiting much at all and should have 3-5 minutes of a fight to catch up with not a 5+minute wait followed by a 30 second boss fight cwls size is insufficient and so is the lack of an in game tracker or one that doesnt require joining a cult to get marking permisions that expect you to share when they do this is content people want to do and the devs need to make it easier to participate in this whole never ending log in que and bottlenecking world transfers every time more then 1 at a time makes the game feel extremely old and isnt the fault of the players spawning your hunts for you and thinking about the next one manners also means considering the time of those who arrived first or spent hours attempting spawns over those who arrived late and as someone who got 5k years ago and waited literally hundreds of hours to pull hunts its extremely frustrating to get called out on a regular basis by leeches who camp aetherytes because they get late relays or idealistic spawners who want 10 minute waits its a completely fixable situation if you people will stop blaming eachother and demand the devs fix it my 5 minutes might be 2 minutes for you so how about rather then force arbitrary time limits on people we dont know we just encourage people to get to them faster and demand the devs accomodate the demand rather then bottleneck it this game needs more large gatherings and for them not to be dominated by bickering over the games support of it why are the only portals in the 3 starter cities full of players and crowded with bots

    Agree people should follow community etiquette but it's not bannable for people to pull things. I'd much rather SE stopped making achievements that are so damn long it warrants needing to abuse world hopping in the first place to get it done. People going for achievements like these in short term.. it's so unhealthy.

    i would argue achievements like 30k hoard or bunny chests are much more unhealthy and demand abusing the games systems hunts and pvp are some of the only things in this game people still do after they finish achievements and the risk of not getting to a hunt being present is what makes it a thrill to rush and go to one the only hunt etiquettes that should be encouraged is to get to them ASAP and that it is not acceptable to single people out and witch hunt/harass unless se is going to implement in game tracking and alerts time is always going to be relative

    And don't pull before the SPAWNER does.

    I spawned Atti last night and someone pulled him after 4 minutes, even though I had clearly given a PT (we do 5 minutes on Primal). Makes me want not to bother anymore.

    Should "community etiquette" be encouraged? Sure I can side with that, but its not enforceable, its not a bannable offence.

    Elite Marks are Free-for-All "kill on sight". If someone wants to kill it, have at it. If there is a crowed for it already? Then yeah sure, i may side with the community etiquette, but I'm not going to pass judgement on the puller.
